65 Mustang compact spare.

Is anyone using a compact spare for their 65 mustang 5 lug?
What are you using?

I found an aluminum spare in a 1990's Crown Victoria that works fine on my '67. I've had a sharp eye out for another but have yet to see one. Lots of steel ones out there though. Also similar Lincoln Town Cars had aluminum spares but they are a very unattractive rough finish. The one I found was painted black initially but it was fairly easily removed and brightened up nicely. Both the steel and alloy versions look like this. You have just about put hands on them to tell the alloy ones from the common steelies.

They take up more room than one of those inflatable mini-spares but are at least a lot slimmer than a full size spare.
